London Comic Con: Superheroes And Villains Descend On London This Weekend

A group of superheroes and villains were spotted in various London commuter hotspots this morning, dazzling Londoners on their way to work. Commuters were stunned to see the five cosplayers – Iron Man, Spider Woman, Bane, Suicide Squad’s Harley Quinn and Aquaman – as they made their way to work.

Dressed in full hair, makeup and costume, the troupe featuring Britain’s leading cosplayers were in London to celebrate the launch of MCM London Comic Con – the UK’s largest pop culture festival which returns to the capital from 26-28 October at ExCeL London.

Fans typically come dressed as their favourite characters from movies, comics and games, which is known as cosplay – or ‘costume and play’.

Fans can enjoy free panels and exclusive screenings at the event with cast members, authors and directors; meet top UK influencers in CreatorScape, play the latest games in the GamingZone and compete in or watch the UK Championships of Cosplay.

The special guest line-up includes:

Paul Bettany – who plays JARVIS and Vision in the hugely popular Marvel Cinematic Universe films
